I had heard that WBZ only has AM stereo installed on their auxiliary
Hull transmitter, which is their old main transmitter. If this is
still correct, maybe no one knew that they would have had to go to
the auxiliary for stereo on Sunday night.

I recall one day last year, I think it was last fall, when they had
to go to the auxiliary for some technical reason, and they were
inadvertently in AM stereo all day (with no IBOC noise, which is only
on their new main transmitter).
